Neo-fascism, capitalism and marxist educators

Abstract

Neo-Fascism, Capitalism and Marxist Educators. I focus in this chapter on Revolutionary Marxist education, distinguishing it, in par-ticular, from both Centrist, and Left versions of social democracy/revision-ism. Accordingly, I set out what I consider to be five key aspects Marxists critique about education policy, and make proposals and seek to enact, relating to: (i) Curriculum and Assessment, (ii) Pedagogy, (iii) The Organi-sational Culture within the School/ Institution, (iv) Organisation of The Education System and of Students, that is, comprehensive schooling or se-lective schooling, and (v) Ownership and Control of Schools, Colleges and Universities. The conclusion sets out what is specifically Marxist about the proposals set out.
